💡 Tips
- July and August are very crowded with domestic holidaymakers; come in June or September for quieter beaches but still warm waters.
- Always agree on the taxi fare before starting your journey if the meter isn't running.
- The midday sun is intense; renting an umbrella or cabana from local beach attendants is a worthwhile investment.
- Keep small Moroccan dirham notes and coins handy for buying roasted nuts or mint tea from wandering beach vendors.
🍽 Food
Try a fish or shrimp tagine cooked in traditional clay pots at the restaurants along the seafront.
A very rich avocado smoothie topped with fruits, nuts, and syrup; look for juice bars on the main promenade.
A Moroccan staple; casual eateries near the beach offer huge platters of mixed fried fish for sharing.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
First-rate for the beach, these local hats can be haggled for at the small shops lining the resort streets.
Buy boxes of almond and honey pastries from local patisseries to enjoy on the beach or take home.
Head slightly north to the lagoon area for a quiet escape and a chance to spot migratory birds.
Wake up early for a walk along the shore before the crowds arrive; the morning light is spectacular.
